Why does my iPhone 16 Pro turn off in standby mode?

16 pro. Magnetic charger so it’s on it side at night and I want to see a clock. It turns off after a few minutes. Please don’t say to go to display and turn it to “always on” that option is NOT there.

your suggestion just keeps my phone on until I turn it off. If I place it on charger that way the screen does NOT show me a clock. If I turn it off and put it on charger on its side it shows the clock for 1 minute then turns off after that minute. Every **** video I watch shows an option I Do NoT have on my phone.

I'm sorry, you say you are turning the iPhone off and then putting on the charger in landscape mode? Have you turned on Standby mode? Go to Settings>Standby, then turn it on. I just did a test on my device. If you have turned the iPhone off and then attach it to the charger, it will power itself back on, but it is locked. Mine would not go into Standby mode at that point. If I put the phone on the charger after unlocking it, it will work. Why are you turning the iPhone off before you put it on the charger?
